2012 Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus Review

18.30 Ponsel

The Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus is a slightly souped-up version of the Galaxy Ace. It looks like a decent Android phone in its own right, though the Galaxy Ace 2 might prove a better choice if it doesn't wind up being much more expensive, as that phone features a bigger, higher-resolution screen.

The overall looks are decent, and still anything but a black plastic design would be a welcome difference. The Galaxy Ace Plus has tapered back made of shiny black plastic, where the 5MP camera with LED flash and the speaker grill are situated. This glossy plastic is a bit slippery, but the phone sits well in the palm, and the screen is small enough to reach everywhere with your thumb only, making the handset suitable for one-handed operation.

The screen on the Ace Plus measures 3.65 inches. That's bigger than the first Ace, which had a display that measured 3.5 inches on the diagonal. The resolution hasn't been increased though, leaving you stuck with a paltry 320x480 pixels to stare forlornly at.

The screen is one area where the Ace 2 has been given preferential treatment, sporting a 3.8-inch display and a 480x800-pixel resolution.

More pixels makes a huge difference and means your photos, videos, on-screen icons and text look much sharper. I would think very carefully before buying any smart phone with a less-than-brilliant screen resolution.

The Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus is an heir to the Galaxy Ace, which was outed a year ago, upping the CPU speed to 1GHz, and the screen size to 3.65”. Unfortunately, it is keeping the same HVGA resolution that was all the rage in 2006.
